Best Gourmet Gift Baskets NYC [Reviewed] December 11, 2017 – Posted in: Gift Baskets
When you’re shopping for the best gourmet gift baskets, NYC gives you plenty of options. Some are inspired by a specific cuisine that’s been assimilated over the years into the city’s local cuisine, some are flavored with local produce, others feature only organic products.
With so many choices, selecting the right gift for the occasion can be tricky. Not knowing the recipient’s particular tastes can make everything even more challenging. But that doesn’t mean you have to spend too much time on comparing options.
To make everything easier for you, we’ve researched and compared all the options available in NYC to bring you only the best. Whether you want to remind a friend how much they mean to you or tell someone thank you, you can’t go wrong with the following gifts.
The Ultimate Wow Gourmet Gift Basket
As its name suggests, this premium gift makes a powerful statement. It mixes wine, champagne, and gourmet dishes to create the ultimate New York City gift basket experience.
Ultimate Wow is full of gourmet treats that tease the senses — Portlock Caviar, Elki Black Olive Tapenade, and the darkly sweet Godiva Dark Chocolate with roasted whole almonds.
The champagne and Pinot Grigio make this a fulfilling gift that leaves no room for more. This full-bodied wine has a fresh and rejuvenating taste and may lower cholesterol levels, making it an ideal accompaniment to a hearty meal.
Select Charcuterie and Gourmet Cheese Hamper
Filled to the brim with choice goodies, this stylish NYC hamper not only tastes great but also looks the part. In addition to four artisan cheeses and fine Spanish charcuterie, it brings the quiet delights of green olives harvested by hand and brined for five months, and delicately flaking Saraivanov Smoked Salmon.
Whimsy handmade Gosanko chocolates together with a delicious fig fruit spread from Tishbi Estate Winery Vintners add a sweet touch to this gourmet gift. These delicacies can be savored with fresh fruit or tea and are perfect for sweetening any conversation.
iGourmet’s Grand Assortment of Meat and Cheese Favorites
At 4.8 pounds, this Grand Assortment isn’t the lightest gift around, but it’s certainly one of the best gourmet gift baskets NYC has to offer. Combining artisan cheeses with authentic salami, pepperoni, and hams, it brims over with international flavors.
Highlights include Wasabi Capri goat cheese, Spanish Jamon Serrano ham, and English cheddar cheese with caramelized onions. Stuffed olives imported from Greece and crisp water crackers round up this gift’s full flavor. Altogether, this is a grand gift for grand occasions.
Gourmet Fruit Basket
Freshly harvested orchard fruits blend in with delicious salty snacks in this huge NYC gourmet food basket. Ripe and tender pears and crisp apples set the stage for the many treats you’ll find inside.
Hanover Smokehouse’s Summer Sausage and Cabot’s Sharp Cheddar Cheese whet the appetite for the sharp and sweet flavors of the fruits that give this gift its name.
Butter toffee peanuts, cashew brittle, and raspberry peach champagne jam deepen the flavor and make this an inspired choice for careful eaters. If freshness is on your mind, you can’t go wrong with this gift.
DEAN & DELUCA Organic Basket
Nicely packed in a ribboned box, DEAN & DELUCA’s Organic treat offers an organic take to the traditional New York gourmet basket. The fresh colors of the organic fruit of the season are the first to catch your eye.
Rawclates’s vegan chocolate bars and Unna Bakery’s Raspberry Cave cookies vie for your attention. Together with the tamari-glazed mixed nuts, they are an ideal treat for energy-packed breakfasts, as well as for snacks throughout the day.
Dried mangos and fine organic pistachios round up the flavor of this gourmet gift — a deliciously healthy choice for anyone.
With so many gourmet experiences ready to be delivered at one’s doorstep, you got all you need to make them a wonderful gift. The recipient of any of these gift baskets will feel joyful and appreciated.
For ultimate enjoyment, choose the gift that best reflects their tastes. Or you can simply surprise them and invite them to explore new culinary flavors. Either way, a treat is in store for them.
